Thailand vs. Kambodscha

Der Beginn eines neuerlichen, handfesten Grenzkonfliktes?

Thai planes raise Cambodia tension ahead of Preah Vihear ruling

The chief of Cambodia's military forces on the Thailand border has called an emergency meeting after Thai aircraft were seen flying low around disputed land near the Preah Vihear temple. [...] Tension on the border is high ahead of a verdict due on Monday by the UN's highest court on where the border lies around the ancient temple.

Fighting in the area in 2011 left 18 people dead and thousands displaced. [...] Cambodia sought a clarification of the ruling in 2011 after fighting broke out. Both countries have agreed to abide by the ICJ ruling but fears remain that nationalist groups may stir up violence in border villages.
